Portland Soldiers and Sailors, 



Mr. Sylvester B. Beckett, who is the only one, so far 
as we know, that ever attempted to learn how many soldiers 
and sailors went into the army or navy from Portland 
during the rebellion, states the number to have been 
"about five thousand."* 

The population in 1860 was 26,342, and in 1865, 30,124, 
of whom 13,964 were males. It is incredible that 5,000 
able-bodied men could have been enlisted from so small a 
population. Mr. Beckett probably counted the number 
of Portland men named in the Adjutant-General's re- 
port, where any man, who served in two companies, 
shows twice. This " repeating " happened to a large 
proportion of our soldiers ; for instance, more than a half 
of the men of the 1st Maine, re-enlisted, and are shown 
again elsewhere. The consolidation of the 5th, 6th and 
7th regiments, and of the 1st D. C. cavalry with the 1st 
Maine cavalry, necessitated the enrolling of the same 
names twice. 

Portland also was credited with many men who came 
here from the British Provinces. We shall not try to 
correct Mr. Beckett's figures, and nothing more will be 
attempted in this sketch than to give the jDrominent facts 
relating to the troops from Portland, in the war of the 
rebellion, including the regiments which " rendezvoused " 
in our city.f 

*See Portland Directory for 1866-7, pages 300-2, 
tin point of fact the camp-ground was in Cape Elizabeth, on the 
grounds now occupied by the Kolling Mills. 



4 POETLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

FIRST MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel Nathaniel J. Jackson. 
Mustered into U. S. service, May 3, 1861, for three months. Sent to 
Washington, .lune 1st. 
When the call for troops was made, April 15, 1861, 
there were tlnrty-five "volunteer companies" or "active 
and uniformed" militia in the State of Maine. Governor 
Washburn ordered these to fill their ranks by recruiting, 
and nineteen of them did so. The other sixteen failed, 
and so lost their identity. It is noteworthy that five of 
these thirty-five were Portland companies, and that all 
five filled their ranks mostly with Portland men, many 
days before the state and national officers could arm and 
equip them. The companies were the 
Portland Light Infantry, 
Portland Mechanic Blues, 

Portland Light Guards, W 

Portland Rifle Corps, 
Portland Rifle Guards. 
Lewiston claims that the Lewiston Light Infantry 
(Co. F, 1st Me.) was the first to volunteer. Gen. Beal 
also claims the honor for his company, the Norway Light 
Infantry (Co. G, 1st Me.) We give below the Rifle 
Guards' claim, as stated by Lieut. Wm. M. Quimby.* 

I claim to be the first man in the State of Maine to volunteer in the 
war of the rebellion. On Tuesday evening, January 8, 1861, after the 
steamer Star of the West was fired upon by the rebels investing Fort 
Sumter, I arose in the meeting of the Guards, called by Capt. Wm. 
M. Shaw, at my suggestion, and stated my views in regard to the war 
which I felt certain was about to bo inaugurated. I urged with all, 
my power that the company should make haste and place itself on 
*Quimby was commissioned captain in the regular army after his 
service in the 1st Maine. He was crippled for life at battle of Cedar 
Mountain, August 9, 18G2, and died in 1876.

record as the first company to volunteer. The meeting was not a 
very full one, but the members present, with one exception, voted to 
volunteer. I was much vexed because I could not get a unanimous 
vote. There the matter rested till the day after the reception of the 
news of the attack on Fort Sumter. I saw Capt. Shaw, and urged 
him to call another meeting. He was as ready as myself, and set 
about it at a good deal of inconvenience, as he had to hunt up every 
member. At this meeting (Tuesday, April 16) the enthusiasm was 
tremendous. As soon as it was called to order, I arose and urged the 
company to vokmteer its services. I was most ably seconded by 
Capt. Shaw, Lieuts. Estes, Merrill and Marston, and many of the non- 
commissioned officers." The result was that the company volunteered , 
by a unanimous vote, to offer its services to the State, in anticipation 
of a call from the general government. [Extract from letter of Capt. 
Quimby.] 

Lieut. Quimby was appointed messenger to go to Au- 
gusta, and formally tender the services of the company. 
He did so and returned immediately with recruiting rolls 
in his hands. The other Portland companies had to wait 
for their blank rolls to come, and while they were wait- 
ing, "the Guards," in the language of one of the men, "was 
filling up as fast as the men could write their names on 
the roll, or one hundred and eighty men in about an hour." 
The Rifle Guards enlisted double the number required, 
and an additional company was necessarily formed, com- 
posed largely of residents of Saccarappa, where Lieut. 
Quimby was wont to spend much of his time courting a 
young lady. 

We remark in passing that this company had gained 
considerable notoriety, and had probably made itself un- 
popular with the majority of our citizens, by suppressing 
the "Neal Dow" or "John Robbins" riot, June 2, 1855. 
But when the call was made for troops to go to war, there 
came a reaction in its favor. " Bloody Guards " was no 
longer spoken in derision. 



6 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

It will be noticed that Portland fnrnislied six companies 
of the ten sent in answer to the first call for troops — 75,- 
000 three months volunteers. 

As before stated, the men were ready long before the 
State or U. S. could arm and clothe them. After remain- 
ing " in quarters " in the halls and large rooms of the 
city, they were sent May 8, to camp upon a field in East 
Deering, between the Marine Hospital and Grand Trunk 
Railway, south of the county road. Here a malignant 
type of measles broke out, prostrating a hundred men and 
delaying the departure of the regiment. Tlie remainder 
of the time was spent on Meridian Hill, Washington, doing 
guard duty and learning how to grumble and swear. 

The Portland officers in this regiment were : 
Lieut.-Colonel, Albion Witham, 
Major, George G. Bailey, ^ 

Quarter-master, William S. Dodge, 
Chaplain, George Knox, 
Surgeon, Wentworth R. Richardson. 

Co. A (Portland Light Infantry). 
Captain, George W. Tukey. 
1st Lientenant, George H. Chadwell. 
2d Lieutenant, Charles L. McAllister. 

Co. B (Mechanic Blues). 
Captain, Charles Walker. 
1st Lieutenant, Charles J. Pennell. 
2d Lieutenant, James M. Black. 

Co. C (Light Guards). 
Captain, Menzies R. Fessenden. 
1st Lieutenant, William P. Jordan. 
2d Lieutenant, Benjamin M. Redlon.

1st Lieutenant, William A. Pearce. 
2d Lieutenant, George H. Bailey- 
Co. E (Rifle Guards).

2d Lieutenant, John M. Marston. 

Co. I (2d Co. OF Rifle Guards). 

Captain, William M. Quimby. 

1st Lieutenant, Nehemiah T. Furbish. 

The Second Maine regiment, rendezvoused in Bangor. 
According to the Adjutant-General's report, there were 
twenty-three Portland men among its "original members." 
Horatio Staples, the well-known dry goods dealer, was 1st 
Lieut, of Co. G, but hailed from Bangor then. 

The Third (Gen. Howard's), was a Kennebec regi- 
ment, and rendezvoused at Augusta. Not a single Port- 
land name appears on its list of original members, and no 
Portland officer at any time of its long service. They 
don't send to Portland for help down on the Kennebec. 

The Fourth (Gen. Berry's), was organized at Rockland. 
There were only three Portlanders among the original 
members. Dr. Hunkins, who lived here after the war, 
was surgeon, hailing then from Windham. Solomon J. 
Stearns, of Portland, "joined as Lieutenant " of Co. F, 
January 1, 1862. 



8 POllTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

FIFTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Col. Makk H. Bunnell, of Portland. 
Mustered in June 23 and 24, 1S61, for three years. Sent to Wasliing- 
ton, June 20. 

There were three Portland companies here: 
Co. F, Capt. George P. Sherwood. 
Co. G, Capt. Henry G. Thomas. 
Co. H, Capt. Edward A. Scammon. 
Sherwood was wounded and invalided at Bull Run. 
Thomas eventually became Brigadier-General and is now 
in the regular army. Scammon was promoted to Colonel, 
lost his health and died. 

Three Portland men were successively appointed Adju- 
tants : 

Charles Whitman, 
George W. Graffam, 
George W. Bicknell. 
Whitman resigned shortly after appointment and re-en- 
tered the navy in which he had previously served. Graf- 
fam entered the regular army, died 1882. Bicknell was 
for many years pastor of the India St. Universalist Church. 
The other Portland officers were Maj. Henry R. IMillett, 
hailing from Palmyra, and now living at Gorham, but well 
known from a long residence here after the war. 
Capt. Thomas J. Sawyer. 
" Alburn P. Harris. 
" George E. Brown. 
" Nathan Walker. 
" Daniel C. Clark. 
1st Lieut. William E. Stevens. 
" Charles O. Waterhouse. 

" Georofe W. Martin. 



POETLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. \i 

1st Lieut. Ambrose S. Dyer. 

" Richard C. Shannon. 

2d Lieut. J. Augustine Grenier. 
" Frank G. Patterson. 

" Robert J. McPherson. 

" Samuel Munson. 

Of this long list, only Capt. Brown, the photographer, 
remains here now. Clark was mortally wounded at 
Spottsylvania. He was one of the most lovable of men. 
Shannon and Munson were promoted, by the President, 
to the general staff. 

Col. Dunnell is credited to Portland, though he resigned 
after holding his Colonel's commission a few months ; then 
went west and next appeared as congressman from Min- 
nesota, where his remarkable dealing with the "salary 
grab " bill gave him great notoriety. In the language of a 
newspaper of the period, he worked like a beaver for the 
passage of the bill ; piously voted against it when he 
found his vote was not needed, pocketed the spoils 
and telegraphed home to " begin hauling sand " for the 
new house. 

The Fifth had a long and creditable service after they 
once got started in the right way. Especially noteworthy 
were the assault on Marye's Heights (Fredericksburg) 
May 3, 1 863 ; the charge at Rappahannock station, Nov. 
7, 1863, when as many rebels were taken prisoners as the 
Union party making the assault; and the grand charge 
under Gen. Upton, at Spottsylvania, May 10, 1864. 

The term of service of the original members expired 
while the regiment was with Grant in front of Peters- 
burg ; the recruits were consolidated with the 6th and 7th 
Maine shortly after and called the 1st Maine Veterans. 



10 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

Few Maine regiments were engaged in so many battles 
or took such prominent part in them as did the old Fifth. 

The Fifth was in the famous Sixth corps. The list of 
the battles begins away back with the first Bull Run, 
takes in the Peninsula campaign, Crarnpton Gap and 
Antietam, Md., Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Rappahan- 
nock Station, Spottsylvania, and Cold Harbor. 

Gen. Upton, in his parting address to them, said: "You 
"have captured the battle-flags of five of the proudest 
" regiments in the Confederate service ; and while inflict- 
" ing a loss equal to your own, you have in addition cap- 
" tured more prisoners than you have names on your rolls." 

The Sixth regiment was recruited in the eastern part 
of the state but rendezvoused at Portland. Mustered in 
July 15, 1861, for three years and sent to Washington two 
or three days later. There were twenty-seven Portland 
men among the original members, and Chaplain Zenas 
Thompson and 1st Lieut. Frank H. Burnham are also 
credited to Portland. 

The Seventh regiment had one " Portland company," 
Capt. Charles H. Gilman's, Co. G, but many of the men 
came from suburban towns. There were, however, fifty- 
seven Portlanders among the original members, and Col. 
Mason is credited to Portland, though more properly his 
hail should have been U. S. Army. For other Portland 
officers we have Captain Joseph H. Walker who died in 
the service. Captains William M. Cushman and George Mc- 
Ginley. The last served three months in the 1st Maine 
and was transferred to the 1st Veterans, and so served 
through the entire war. Capt. Albert A. Nickerson who 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AXD SAILORS. 11 

also served long and well made Portland his home for a 
number of years. Lieut. Geo. B. Knight and Luther B. 
Crosby also hailed from Portland. 

The Eighth regiment had but six Portland names in 
the original membership, and one of these was Lieut. 
Charles E. Howard, formerly Sergeant of Co. C, 1st 
Maine, an experienced drill-master. He died in the ser- 
vice. 

The Ninth regiment had fifteen Portland men in the 
original membership, including five officers, viz, : Col. 
Rishworth Rich, Adjutant James C. M. Furbish, Lieuts. 
John L. Emerson, Henry A. Gray and Joshua G. Ross. 
Charles P. Weeks, of New Sharon, who joined as recruit 
in 1862, and worked his way speedily to a captaincy, 
changed his residence to Portland as he rose. Nothing 
weak about that. 



TENTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Col. George L. Beal. 

Mustered in October 3 and 4, 1861, for two and three years. Left for 
Baltimore, Md., October 6tli. 

This regiment was the reorganization of the First. It 
has four Portland companies, viz. : 

B (Mechanic Blues), Capts. Black and Turner. 

C (Light Guards), Capt. Jordan. 

E (Rifle Guards), Capts. Estes, Latham, Cloudman 

and Sargent. 
I (Rifle Guards), Capts. Furbish and (Mayhew 
of Saccarappa). 



12 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

The old Light Infantiy and Rifle Corps were practically 
disbanded on returning from the field with the 1st Maine, 
and their company organizations were not present in the 
10th. 

The Portland officers were : 
Major, Charles Walker, 
Quartermaster, William S. Dodge, 
Surgeon, Daniel O. Perry, 
Assistant Surgeon, Josiah F. Day, jr.. 
Chaplain, George Knox, 
Captain, James M. Black, 
Alfred L. Turner, 

" William P. Jordan, 

" Albert H. Estes, 

" Cyrus Latham, 

" Andrew C. Cloudman, 

" Herbert R. Sargent, 

" Nehemiah T. Furbish, 
1st Lieut., Charles W. Roberts, 

" Benjamin F. Whitney, 

" Benjamin M. Redlon, 

" Charles F. King, 

" John M. Gould, 

2d Lieut., Reuben Alexander, 

" Marcus Delano, 

" Joseph H. Peiley, jr., 

" Henry F. Smith, 

" John T. Simpson. 

Cloudman and Furbish were killed. Alexander died of 
wounds. Perley died of consumption. Sargent and 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 13 

Turner were wounded. Walker, Dodge, Estes, Latham 
and Simpson resigned on account of sickness. Roberts 
was promoted to Adjutant of the 17th Maine. 

The Tenth was more distinctively a Portland regiment 
than any other from this state. A half of the officers and 
nearly a half of the enlisted men came from Portland and 
suburban towns ; and Col. Beal, who was its Colonel from 
first to last, though born in the town of Norway, had 
lived in Portland a number of years before the war. 

The regiment was on^^ for Portland to be proud of. It 
achieved the honor of being one of eleven in all the Army 
of the Potomac that had "earned high commendation." 

The fight it made at Cedar Mountain, Aug. 9, 1862, was 
most sanguinary, and that at Antietam was stubborn and 
bloody again. At the time of its discharge it had lost 
by bullet more than any other Maine regiment. Seventy- 
three men were killed or died of wounds against forty-eight 
from disease, reversing completely the common rule that 
disease kills more than the bullet. 

The Tenth had the misfortune of serving under Gen. 
John Pope, and being most wretchedly led, or misled by 
its general officers in every battle. 

On the expiration of its term of service. May 2, 1863, 
there were about two hundred and fifty three years recruits 
who were organized into the " Tenth Maine Battalion. " 
They served as a Headquarters guard of the Twelfth Army 
corps. Gen. Slocum's, until May, 1861, when they were con- 
solidated with the Twenty-ninth regiment. This battalion 
was a model command and followed the Twelfth corps to 
Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and to Tennessee. 



14 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

The first ten regiments, were "raised, subsisted and com- 
pletely fitted out at the expense of the state. " The five 
infantry regiments that followed, and also the First cav- 
alry and six batteries, were raised at the direct expense 
of the U. S. government. 

The companies of these latter regiments were not re- 
cruited so largely from special cities and towns ; there con- 
sequently were no distinctively Portland companies in the 
Eleventh to Fifteenth regiments, or in the cavalry and ar- 
tillery. 

The Eleventh regiment had twenty-five Portland men 
among the original members. William M. Shaw, who had 
been Captain of the Portland Rifle Guards in the First 
Maine, was Major and Lieutenant-Colonel. Charles J. 
Pennell, formerly of the Blues in the First Maine, was the 
Adjutant. There were also promoted from the ranks of 
the old First Maine : 

Captain, Woodbury S. Pennell, 

1st Lieut., John M. Beal, 

Charles H. Scott. 



TWELFTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel George F. Shepley, of Portland. 

Mustered in November 15 to 20, 1861, for three years. Left Portland 
for Lowell, Mass., Nov. 24, 1861, and went aboard transport for 
Fortress Monroe, Va., Jan. 2, 18G2, thence to Shii) Island, La., 
February 4. 

There were seventy-three Portland names on the list of 
original members. Captain George H. Chadwell's com- 
pany, B, was reckoned as the Portland company. 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 15 



The Portland officers were : 

Colonel, George F. Sliepley, 
Adjutant, William Wallace Deane, 
Quarter-master, Horatio N. Jose, 

" " Charles D. Webb, 

Chaplain, William Brown, 
Captain, George H. Chadwell, 

" Menzies R. Fessenden, 

" John W. Dana, 

" Moses M. Robinson,

" Charles F. Little, 

" Simeon Bolivar Wiggin, 

" Horatio Hight (Scarboro),* 
2d Lieut., George E. Andrews (Scarboro), 



* 



" Gustavus Smith. 

Fessenden, Chadwell, Wiggin and Andrews had served 
in the 1st Maine. 

The late Henry T. Carter, Esq., one of our well-known 
citizens, was a member of this regiment. 

Soon after landing in Louisiana, Col. Shepley was made 
Military Governor of the state and Brigadier General. The 
regiment engaged in a number of minor expeditions, and 
in 1863 took part in the Teche campaign and in the siege 
and assault of Port Hudson. They were not actively en- 
gaged in the Red River expedition of 1864, but came North 
in July and joined Sheridan's army, and so participated in 
the battles of "the Valley"; in all of which they did good 
service and met heavy losses. 

*Now residing in Portland. 



16 PORTLAND SOLDIEES AND SAILORS. 

After all this the regiment received six new companies, 
and a very different set of men came home as the 12th 
Maine from those who went out by that name ; a remark 
that applies to other regiments we can mention. 

THIRTEENTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel Neal Dow, of Portland. 

Mustered in Dec. 13, 1861, for three years. Sent from Augusta to Ship 
Island, La., via Fortress Monroe, in Feb., 1862. 

The Thirteenth had sixty-seven Portlanders among the 
original members. 

The Portland officers were : 
Colonel, Neal Dow, 

Asst. Surgeon, Seth C. Gordon (Gorham), 
Chaplain, Henry D. Moore, 
Captain, Charles R. March, 

" Reuben T. Jordan, 

" Joshua L. Sawyer, 

" Augustine W. Clough, 

" Isaiah Randall, 

1st Lieut., John T. Sherburne, 

" William P. Freeman, 

" Aaron Ring, 

" William E. Simmons, 

2d Lieut., William H. Sargent. 

Colonel Dow was made Brigadier-General in April, 1862. 
Dr. Gordon was promoted to a Louisiana regiment, and 
Chaplain Moore, after spending a night and day on the 
deep, seasick and sorry, returned home, laden with the 
benedictions of Gen. Butler. But we beg to be excused 
from quoting the exact words of Old Ben. 



PORTLAND SOLDIEES AND SAILORS. 17 

This regiment had the ill luck of being assigned to 
guard duty and garrisoning forts about all its term of ser- 
vice, and for the most part it was unpleasant and unhealthy 
business. Excepting some guerrilla warfare, etc., they had 
no fighting of consequence till April, 1864, when they 
were left alone on the flank of the army, while a strange 
regiment fled, its Colonel taking cover under a corn crib or 
some such thing. All this up Red River with Gen. Banks 
looking on, — funny fighting thought he and the 13th. 

The regiment came North in July, 1864, and defended 
Sheridan's wagons in "the Valley." There was no three- 
years regiment from Maine that had so little fighting and 
few that had such a dreary time of it on the whole. 

The Fourteenth regiment had one Portlander on its 
original roll, Capt. George H. Cheney. Lieut. George 
Webster came in later, and both resigned. 

The Fifteenth regiment had fifteen Portlanders in it at 
first. Captain Charles S. Ilsley was the only officer we 
furnished. He served his term, entered the regular army, 
and is now Captain in 7th U. S. cavalry. 

Gen. Benj. B. Murray, of the 15th, resided in Portland 
while he was U. S. Marshal, and Captain Henry A. Shorey 
is now in the custom-house. 

The Sixteenth regiment had about* a dozen Portland 
men in it ; one of whom was that odd stick, William H. 
Broughton, the great checker player, who rose from the 
ranks to be Captain of Co. D, and served with honor and 
distinction to the end of the war. 

*The Adjutant-General did not tabulate the original members by 
towns and cities after the 15th regiment.

Lieut. Fred H. Beecher, of the 16th, a young man of 
great promise, who was commissioned in the regular army- 
after the war, and was killed by Indians, could without 
much violence be reckoned a Portlander, as could also 
Lieut. William T. Dodge, also of the 16th, and of the reg- 
ular army. 

SEVENTEENTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel Thomas A. Roberts, of Portland. 
Mustered in August 18, 1862, for three years. Sent to Washington, 
August 20, and assigned to the Third Army corps. 

There Avere two that were called Portland companies, 
though the majority of their men came from other towns. 
The regiment is as well known as any in our city. 
Portland gave a long list of able officers and men to this 
famous organization, and they did tlieir part in making 
the 17th the glorious old regiment it was.

Pennell, Sawyer, Brown and Roberts were killed. 
Waterhouse died in the service. Gen. Mattocks had a 
checkered and eventful career, including capture, escape, 
and recapture, which will pay perusal. (See page 413, 
Volume L, 1864-5, Adjutant-General's Report.) The 
names of twenty-seven engagements are inscribed on the 
colors, the most important of which are Chancellorsville, 
Gettysburg, Locust Grove, the Wilderness, etc., and the 
battles before Petersburg. The losses were very heavy 
and the fighting always good. Portland has always been 
proud of the 17th, and with good reason. No other reg- 
iment took so much " brain " from our city. 



20 PORTLAND SOLDIEES AND SAILORS. 

Fred. Bos worth, for whom our No. 2 Post of the Grand 
Army of the Republic was named, served in this regi- 
ment, and was killed at Wapping Heights, Aug. 23, 1863. 

(For 18th Maine, see First Heavy Artillery.) 

The Nineteenth regiment was raised on the Kennebec, 
and like the 3d Maine, it made a most honorable record, 
without any help from Portland till late in the war. Isaac 
W. Starbird, its last Colonel, lived with us a number of 
years after discharge. William L. Gerrish, transferred 
from the 5th Independent Co., earned a Second Lieutenan- 
cy in January, 1865, but died a few weeks later. 

The Twentieth regiment (Ames's and afterward Gen. 
Chamberlain's) was organized at Portland in August, 1862, 
but the officers and men came from other places, with hard- 
ly an exception. These exceptions were notable. Gen. 
John M. Brown, President of our Monument Association, 
began his military career here as Adjutant; and Wm. E. 
Donnell stepped into Brown's shoes on his promotion. Dr. 
Abner O. Shaw was the surgeon. Holman S. Melcher, 
formerly of Topsham, who has for many years been a 
wholesale grocer here, rose from the ranks to be Captain 
and Brevet-Major, and to enjoy the reputation of being 
one of the bravest men in the corps. 

The Twenty-first, Twenty-second, Twenty-third and 
Twenty-fourth, were nine months regiments raised in the 
autumn of 1862. The word Portland is not seen on their 
rolls, though Judge Virgin who was Colonel of the 23d, 
and Lieut. Henry B. Cleaves, also of the 23d, reside here 
now.

Mustered in Sept. 29tli, 18G2, for nine months. Sent to Washington, 
Oct. 16th. 

Three Portland companies entered this regiment, A, B 
and H. Co. A was more distinctively a Portland com- 
pany than any which had been raised since the 1st Maine 
regiment. It had in its ranks a great many young men 
who have since become our " well-known " or " promi- 
nent " citizens. One cannot read the roll without a smile ; 
and herein lies the foundation of that harmless bit of 
irony so often spoken, " The Bloody Twenty-fifth " ; — for 
it was one of the best equipped regiments that ever left 
the state in the item of " brain,'' yet it was its misfortune 
to be kept guarding Long Bridge, '' digging dirt," and 
picketing on the outskirts of Washington during its entire 
service. Consequently when the regiment came back 
without having been ordered into battle, many who had 
carefully staid at home criticised the regiment harshly. 
Any one who ever saw the regiment knows that it needs 
no defender. 

The Portland officers were : 

Colonel, Francis Fessenden, 

Lieut.-Colonel, Charles E. Shaw, 

Major, Alexander M. Tolman, 

Chaplain, Edward B. Furbish, 

Captain A, Frank L. Jones, 
" " George H. Abbott, 

» B, Edward Nelson Greely, 

" C, Whitman Sawyer (Raymond), 

" H, Charles C. Chase,

" B, Levi M. Prince, 

" H, John H. Knight, 

" K, Isaac D. Sawyer (Standish), 

2cl Lieut. A, Cyrus H. Illsley, 

" E, Frank G. Stevens, 

" I, George O. Gosse. 

The Twenty-sixth regiment had no Portlanders in it. 

TWENTY-SEVENTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel Rufus P. Taplet. 

Mustered in September 30, 1862, for nine months. Sent to Wash- 
ington October 20th. 

This regiment rendezvoused at Portland, but had only 
one individual credited to us on the rolls. This was 
Adjutant Edward M. Rand, now a well-known member 
of the Cumberland Bar. The history of this regiment is 
quite like that of the 25th, with which it was brigaded ; 
but the men escaped the abuse which fell to the lot of the 
25th, first by having no great expectations formed con- 
cerning them, and last by volunteering to stay over the 
time of their enlistment. Tradition runs that our towns- 
man Rand was an earnest advocate of the last project. 
The}'' luckily came home just when the country was wild 
with joy over tlie victory at Gettysburg. 

The Twentj^-eighth regiment (the last of the nine months 
organizations) had no Portland names on the rolls.

TWENTY-NINTH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Col. George L. Beal. 
(Re-organization of Tenth Maine.) 
Mustered in Nov. 13, to Dec. 17, 1863, for three years. Left Augusta 
for New Orleans Jan. 31, 1864, and assigned to the Nineteenth 
Army cori)s. 

This regiment did not rendezvous at Portland; but 
carrying as it did the traditions of the First and Tenth of 
which it was the successor we have always claimed a 
special interest in it. It was the first regiment raised in 
Maine under the "Veteran" order. The officers and non- 
commissioned officers with few exceptions had been in 
service before. The men came from almost every town 
in the state and the local coloring is consequently faint. 
Companies C and E are, however, reckoned as Portland 
companies. 

The Tenth battalion was consolidated with this regi- 
ment as before noted. 

The Portland officers were : 
Major, John M. Gould, 
Adjutant, Alpheus L. Greene, 
Quarter-master,* William E. St. John, 
Surgeon, Josiah F. Day, jr., 
Chaplain, George Knox, 
Captain, B, Benjamin M. Redlon, 
« C, William P. Jordan, 

« E, John M. Beal, 

« F, Alfred L. Turner, 

1st Lieut. D, Charles Fred King, 
" E, Charles C. Graham, 

2d Lieut. C, Henry M. Smith, 
" E, Cyrus T. Waterhouse, 

" F,* Cornelius D. Maynard. 

*Not mustered in as officers because of reduced size of the regiments

Tlie regiment was sent on tlie Red River expedition, 
March, 1864, and did so well in the first battle that Col. 
Real was jumped over the other Colonels and put in com- 
mand of the brigade. In July the larger part of the Nine- 
teenth corps were sent to Virginia, and the regiment took 
prominent part in the battles in theValley, under Sheridan. 
The long fight at Cedar Creek, when Sheridan w^as 
" twenty miles away," is considered by the men of the 
regiment as the most stubborn and best fought every 
way of all their engagements. The regiment was sent to 
South Carolina after the war and was not mustered out 
until June, 1866. 

Since the war, the members of the First, Tenth and 
Twenty-ninth regiments, including the Tenth battalion, 
have formed an Association, and call themselves one 
regiment, the " First-Tenth-Twenty-ninth " ; the history 
of the four organizations being continuous. They are 
now building upon Long Island, Casco Bay, a hall for re- 
union purposes, the benefits of which will be watched by 
other regiments with great interest. 

THIRTIETH MAINE INFANTRY. 

Colonel Francis Fessenden. 
Mustered in Dec. loth, 1863, to January 9, 1864, for three years. Left 
Augusta for New Orleans February 7, 1864, and assigned to the 
Nineteenth Army corps. 

Like the Twenty-ninth this was a "Veteran " regiment; 
it carried the traditions of the old Twenty-fifth, and re- 
cruited all over the state. The officers and non-commis- 
sioned officers were almost all of them " Veterans." No 
company had a majority of men from any one town, but 
Portland men predominated in Co. I, Capt. Frank L. 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 25 

Jones, whom we have already seen in the Twenty-fifth. 
The other Portkuid officers beside CoL t'esscnden and 
Capt. Jones were : 

Adjutant, Charles F. Larrabee, 
Quarter-master, Frank H. Coffin, 
Asst. Surgeon, Thomas H. Breslin, 
Captain, Whitman Sawyer, 

" Levi M. Prince, 
1st Lieut., Henry B. Cleaves, 

Charles B. Hall, 
2d Lieut., Franklin E. Holmes, 

" Lewis F. Cummings, 

" Burrett H. Beale, 

" William H. Motley. 

Larrabee and Hall were commissioned in the regular 
army after the war. Lieut.-Col. Royal E. Whitman, 
whose business was in Portland before the war, was also 
commissioned in the regular army. 

The regiment took part in the battles of the Red River 
campaign, in one of which, " Cane River Crossing,"' Col. 
Fessenden won his Brigadier-General's star, but lost his 
leg. He was commanding the brigade at the time, and it 
is worth noting as a curious coincidence that this brigade, 
late in the war, fell to the command of his brother, Brig.- 
Gen. James D. Fessenden. Coming north in July with the 
Nineteenth corps, the Thirtieth went first to Deep Bot- 
tom, then to the Valley where Sheridan set them to guard- 
ing his long trains. 

The remnants of the Thirteenth Maine were consoli- 
dated with the Thirtieth, in Nov., 1864, at which time 
the companies were reorganized. 



26 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

The Thirty-first was a new regiment, though many of 
the officers and non-commissioned officers were "Veter- 
ans." It was organized at Augusta, and recruited in the 
eastern part of the state. There were no Portlanders 
among the original members. The Thirty-second Maine 
was consolidated with it in December, 1864. (See Thir- 
ty-second Maine.) 

The Thirty-second Maine was the last full regiment 
raised in our state. The officers and non-commissioned 
officers were for the most part Veterans. Six companies 
were hurried off to the front and assigned to the Ninth 
Army corps, April 20, 1864, the other four went later. 
Captain Chadwell's and Captain Sargent's companies had 
a large number of Portland men in them. The Portland 
officers were : 

Lieut.-Col. John Marshall Brown, 

Captain C, Herbert R. Sargent, 
" H, George H. Chadwell, 
H, Thomas P. Beals, 

2d Lieut. H, Henry G. Mitchell. 
Col. Brown had served in the Twentieth and on Gen- 
eral staff. Captain Chadwell in the First and Twelfth, 
Captain Sargent in the First and Tenth, and Captain 
Beals in the Seventh. Brown and Sargent were wounded, 
Chadwell died, and Mitchell was captured. The regiment 
had an exceedingly " rough " service under Grant in the 
Wilderness, and so on to the battle of the Crater or Mine 
explosion from which they emerged with only fifty men. 
The remnant of the regiment was transferred to the Thir- 
ty-first Maine in December after a "short and active ca- 
reer" during which it "did comparatively as much and as 
hard fighting as any other organization." 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 27 

Thirty "unassigned" or independent companies were 
raised to serve one, two and three years from Sept., 1864, 
to April, 1865, of which the Twenty-sixth and Twenty- 
ninth were from this city. 

The Twenty-sixth unassigned company of Infantry, 
Capt. George L. Fickett, was recruited in Portland and 
half of the men were residents of our city. The company 
was finally assigned to the "-Ist Battalion." Mustered in 
April 5th, 1865, for one year. They served out their time in 
the Shenandoah Valley, Washington and South Carolina ; 
but the war was virtually over before they arrived on the 
field. 

The Twenty-ninth company was raised in Portland. 
Capt. Aaron Ring, Lieuts. Fred D. Lovell and T. Oilman 
Webster. About half the men were Portlanders. They 
Avere mustered in April 25th, 1865, and mustered out three 
weeks later without having left the state. 

The First Maine Veterans was a regiment made by con- 
solidation of the veterans and recruits of the Fifth, Sixth, 
and Seventh regiments. We have already noticed the 
Portland officers excepting : 

Dr. Still man P. Getchell at that time hailing from Vi- 
enna, and 2d Lieut. Edward J. Dolan, a young Irish 
American who had been a Sergeant in the Fifth Maine. 

There are not many Portland names on the rolls of the 
" First Vets," and we grieve to remark that against those 
few are every species of "black mark" that Adj.-Gen, 
Hodsdon could invent. 



28 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

A company of sharpshooters was raised in Maine, No- 
vember, 1861, by our townsman, the late James D. Fessen- 
den, who starting here gave a long and valuable service to 
the country, mostly in western armies, and finalh^ came 
back wealing the Brig.-General's star, to command his 
brother Frank's brigade in Sheridan's army. 

Daniel L. Cummhigs was 2d Lieut., and afterward 1st 
Lieut, of this company, which was known as Co. D, Sec- 
ond U. S. Sharpshooters. 

There were also Coast Guards, Militia companies and 
what all, for which see the A. G. reports. 



FIRST MAINE CAVALRY. 

Colonel John Goddard; succeeded by Allen, Doughty 
(killed), and Chakles H. Smith. 

This fine regiment, which did as much for the good 
name of our state as any we sent out, had one Portland 
company, composed, in fact, of men from almost every- 
where. As the war went on, many recruits were sent 
out, of which Portland contributed her part. 

Late in 1863 and early in 1864, eight companies of 
cavalry were enlisted in Maine and called the First 
District of Columbia Cavalr}'. After many vicissitudes, 
especially after being nearly all captured in a raid, which 
reflected greater credit upon the rebel General, Wade 
Hampton, than it did upon the officer in command of 
the D. C. Cavalry, they were transferred to the First 
Maine Cavalry. 

First and last, therefore, there were men enough in the 
regiment to make a respectable brigade. 



PORTLA.ND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 29 

Tlie officers from Portland, in both regiments, includ- 
ing tho.se who have taken up their residence here since 
the war, were : 

Lieut.-CoL, Stephen Boothby, 

INIajor, Sidney W. Thaxter (Bangor), 

Adjutant, Jarvis C. Stevens, 

Quarter-master, Edward M. Patten, 

Commissary, Eustis C. Bigelow, 

Asst. Surgeon, George J. Northrop, 

Captain C, Andrew M. Benson (Oldtown, 1st D. C), 

" F, Nathan Mayhew, 

" F, Walstein Phillips, 

G, Charles C. Chase (1st D. C), 

" I, Thomas C. Webber (1st D. C), 
1st Lieut. D, Edward P. Merrill, 

" E, John H. Goddard, 

" F, William Harris, 

" H, James McGuire, 

K, Charles W. Ford (Bristol), 
2d Lieut. F, Lorenzo White. 

Boothby, Phillips, and Harris were killed. The regi- 
ment was engaged in thirty-six battles, and in many of 
them there was fighting of the kind that belongs to infan- 
trymen. Their first engagement was at Middletown, in 
the Valley, during Banks' retreat May 1862. It was against 
infantry and artillery, a thing unheard of in those days. 
At Brandy Station, June 9, 1863, they had another day to 
be remembered. Eight days later at Aldie, Col. Doughty 
fell. After these hard battles the foot-soldiers had a con- 
fidence in the cavalrymen not enjoyed before. 



30 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AXD SAILORS. 

In 186-1:, under Sheridan at Ground Squirrel churcli, an- 
other terrible day was passed daring which our own brave 
Boothby was mortally wounded as was also the rebel Gen- 
eral J. E. B. Stuart. In truth from 1862 to 1865 there 
was plenty of marching, skirmishing and hard figliting for 
this well trained command. Tliey earned the name of 
being " among the best in the service. " 

The Second Cavalry had few Portland names. Dr. 
Rodolph L. Dodge was the only officer from Portland ; 
serving there as 2d Lieut. 

The First Maine Heavy Artillery, known at first as the 
Eighteenth Infantry, and called the " First Heavy " for 
short, had hardly a Portland name except that of Lieut .- 
Colonel Thomas H. Talbot, well known in our city before 
the war but not residing here since. Lieut.-Col. Zimro 
A. Smith who was for a number of years editor of the 
Portland Press served the entire term of the regiment. 

Of the seven batteries of mounted artillery all but the 
First belonged in the Army of the Potomac. The First was 
raised in Portland. Here Albert W. Bradbury, at that 
time hailing from Eastport, entered upon his military ca- 
reer which ended in his being made Brevet-Colonel and 
Chief of Artillery of the Nineteenth Army corps of which 
corps the First battery was a part. Portland also fur- 
nished thirty-one of the original members of the battery 
and about as many more recruits at various times. 

The Second battery had six original members that hailed 
from Portland including Lieuts. Samuel Paine and Samuel 
Fessenden ; the last was the younger brother of Gens. Jas. 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 31 

D. and Frank, and one of the most genial and open-hearted 
yonng men that ever wore blue. He fell at the second 
Bull Run. 

Not a single Portland man's name appears on the roll 
of the Third battery until March 10th, 1864, when George 

E. Shillings comes in with a 2d Lieut. 's commission and 
he is soon after promoted to 1st Lieut. These Portland 
boys seem to have had a taste for commissions. 

The Fourth battery, likewise, gives no hint of the ex- 
istence of Portland, except through " Gus " Fox, one of 
the old " Hard Dees " of the First Maine, who starting 
as Corporal, rose in time to be Second Lieutenant, and 
" huno- to it " from first to last. There were also Lieu- 
tenants Lucius M. S. Haynes and Henry C. Haynes, 
brothers, who lived in Portland many years when boys, 
and received proper castigation at the hands of " Craney" 
Jones, their schoolmaster, in spite of their being minister's 
sons. 

The Fifth battery had eighteen original members from 
Portland, including Lieuts.William F. Twitchell and Ezra 
Clark jr. Dr. Charles O. Hunt, now surgeon in charge of 
Maine General Hospital, was Second Lieutenant of this 
battery. Captain Leppien is also credited to Portland, 
though he was not a citizen of Maine at all. Leppien 
was one of the finest soldiers ever commissioned from 
Maine, and he disciplined the Fifth battery till there was 
nothing better either in the regulars or Rhode Island. 
He fell at Chancellorsville, and Twitchell at the Second 
Bull Run. 



32 PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 

The Sixth battery had thirteen Portland names on the 
Nov. '62 muster rolL Here again we see the penchant of 
our folks for commissions. 

Captain, Edwin B. Dow, 
1st Lieut., Samuel Thurston, 
2d Lieut., Orville W. Merrill, 
" William H. Gallison, 

" John G. Deane. 

Sterling Dow also came within one of a commission, get- 
ting as high as Q. M. Sergeant. 

The Seventh battery organized in 1864 had ten or a 
dozen Portland men in it. 

First Lieut., Loren E. Bundy, was the only officer that 
we can claim. They were in the Ninth corps. 



RE-CAPTURE OF THE "CALEB CUSHING." 

On the afternoon of June 25, 1863, a " gang of pirates," 
as we called them in those days, originally from the rebel 
steamer ••' Florida," peacefully entered Portland harbor in 
the fishing schooner "Archer," which they had captured 
a few days before. Early in the morning of the 26th, 
they easily surprised and captured the Revenue Cutter 
"Caleb Gushing," and put to sea with her, the "Archer " 
following. The details of their being becalmed and re- 
captured by a small fleet of steamers and tug boats, hasti- 
ly manned, are narrated on pages 15 to 23 of Adj. -Gen. 's 
Report, 1863. We only wish here to emphasize the fact 
that " Capt. Jake " McLellan was mayor of our city then, 
and the late Jedediah Jewett collector of the port ; and 



PORTLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 33 

life was worth living that morning if only to see the 
tremendous energy of those two men. 

Furthermore it should be known that the " pirates " 
couldn't find the ammunition, or at least the shot and shell. 
What would have become of the " Forest City " and the 
" Tiger " had they found it, is not very doubtful. The 
" Chesapeake " was better fitted for a naval engagement ; 
but we wish to remark, what is not stated elsewhere, that 
Capt. Charles F. Knapp, at present the Shipping Commis- 
sioner of our port, was aboard and really in command by 
force of superior will, though Leighton, the naval con- 
structor, was given the command, and Col. Mason of the 
Seventh Maine was "commanding" the infantry. When 
the pirates fired their guns loaded with spikes, old iron and 
cheese-rinds at the " Chesapeake," Capt. Willets of the 
steamer inqaired what to do, Knapp insisted that we should 
" run her down " and board her. Firing six-pounder field 
guns at a craft like the " Cushing " was too much like non- 
sense to him. The enemy seeing this, set fire to the cutter 
and took to their boats. Fortunately for them the " Forest 
City" with officers of the Seventeenth U.S.Infantry aboard, 
picked them up. How much "picking up " Knapp would 
have done is one of the unsolved problems of this case. 



Four war vessels were built here during the war. 

The gunboat Kineo, six guns, 507 tons, launched Oct. 
9, 1861. The contract time was one hundred days. Built 
by the late Joseph W. Dyer, at Ferry Village. Engines 
furnished in New York.

The "double eiider" side-wheel steamer Agawam, 
twelve guns, 974 tons, launched April 21st, 1863. Built 
by George W. Lawrence, at his yard near where the For- 
est City Sugar Refinery now stands. Engines built by 
the Portland Company. 

The double ender Pontoosuc, ten guns, 974 tons. 
Built by G. W. Lawrence, after the Agawam. Engines 
furnished by the Portland Company. 

The light draught, iron-clad monitor Wassuc, two guns, 
614 tons, launched in 1864. Built by Geo. W. Lawrence. 
Motive and turret engines and a large part of the turret 
works were built by Charles Staples & Son. 

Chas. Staples & Son also forged a large amount of iron 
work for the forts in our harbor. The embrasures of the 
casemates were particularly heavy and there were many of 
them. 

The Portland Company built a number of fine locomo- 
tives for the government and experimented in casting heavy 
guns. They also furnished the works of the steamer Ella 
Morse, built at Bath, which was bought by the govern- 
ment and used as a tow boat at New Orleans.

NAVY. 



In the long list of names of men furnished to the Navy 
from Maine, are hundreds credited to Portland. Promo- 
tion in the navy, of enlisted men to commissioned officers, 
was not so common as in the army. The Naval officers 
were selected in a more conservative way. 

Rear Admiral James Alden, whose body lies in East- 
ern Cemetery, was born and resided in Portland. 

Rear Admiral George H. Preble, also, was born and 
resided in Portland. 

The deeds of two such conspicuous men cannot be re- 
cited in these few pages. 

Wtllia^ni Henry Anderson, Paymaster, was stationed 
the most of the time in the Sounds of North Carolina, 
and saw a good deal of fighting.

Two reported as soldiers buried in paupers' graves were decorated. 
Three "unknown" graves in Western Cemetery, six in Evergreen, 
fifty-six in Forest City, and lour in Mt. Pleasant wej-e decorated on 
account of flags that were found over them. The flags have been 
renewed from year to year, because the graves were originally 
pointed out to previous committees as soldiers' graves.
